I really appreciate the honesty and clarity of vision that this woman has, and how it shows up with such consistency in her work, her interviews, and in person, at her readings. She’s one of those people with a mind that’s always churning, and willing to engage. I liked that conversation with her (at a reading) felt…

Where’s the part of the comments section where everyone snarks on how white this is?

Unfortunately, I’m not sure it’s true they’d win the suit for his full wages. There’s a really despicable loophole in America—Section 14 of the Companies Act—that allows certified employers to pay special needs workers in accordance with their abilities (read: much, much lower than minimum wage). Check out this…

You guys ever read Devil Wears Prada? I recall the editor in chief inexplicably becoming a loving, doting person around infants. So maybe there's some truth in that?

Judd Apatow's equivocating comments are infuriating. Comparing the release of private naked photos shared between a couple to the leak of professional emails is like saying: "If you peek in my bedroom mirror while I'm having sex it's the same as glancing through the door during a board meeting! Privacy is privacy!…

Is anyone using that new mini IUD? Anyone for whom the copper one failed? I'm interested in trying again but the first time around my body rejected the IUD.

When I was looking for places near LA the code word was "massages," as in, "no need to work! just clean and give me massages!"

I don't believe that the attacks on Picoult's work are warranted, and they're certainly not kind, but I do think that 'the commentariat' is fair in its dealing with successful authors of both genders. If an author publicly complains that their success doesn't come with a heaping side of acclaim, that isn't…

Well then, how about a more feminist explanation for the data at hand?

Off the top of my head: extroverts have more friends and are more likely to be surrounded by males and females alike. Extroverts are also more likely to initiate sex and enjoy the sex that they have. http://www.prevention.com/sex/sex-relati…

Hahahaha you think that's tahini. That's cute. The halal carts straight up put mayonnaise on your biryani. White sauce is mayo. Just ask them.

According to the LAUSD middle schoolers lack the maturity to make an informed decision about guzzling soda but apparently cock is another story. http://notebook.lausd.net/pls/ptl/docs/P…

The press on Kim is so ubiquitous that I can't help but read much of it—and yet I've never come across this "modern day personification of Marilyn Monroe" thing. "Many" people say it? Really?

Seconded.

I'm pretty sure I know this girl. That repeated use of socially awkward penguin during courtship can't be more than one person, can it?

Perhaps I'm misreading the article here, but I'm not seeing anything that indicates this fight occurred when they first met. There's a whole lot of assumptions in the comments that he got pissed that she wasn't pretty or something, but it seems more likely to me that this is a case (not uncommon pre-Internet) where a…

That makes a great deal of sense. Thank you for the explanation.

Do all the men get parentheticals about their gender normative hobbies in their picture captions too? (Why the fuck do I care that she quilts? Is she quilting in space?)

At 18 I hung up on a screaming phone call with my then-boyfriend and the result was a text that said: "Fuck you we're through." At least it rhymed?

Isn't that a skewed power dynamic, though? Presumably you're boyfriend is going to leave that exchange and have a much better day than that panhandler. I don't know if the same can be said for the average cat-caller. I tend to cut people some slack when I know that my circumstances are demonstrably better than theirs.

I think one of the great things you did here was that you framed your advice by mentioning the perspective from which you approach these issues. One of the problems with celeb tweets on these subjects is they just state something totally out of context, as though it's unbiased truth. You own where you stand, recognize…
